the soul mate question

“The right person, in my eyes, is the person that you can’t get out of your mind, even when you try…the person that makes you better…that knows your flaws and accepts them, but doesn’t try to change them…yet they work with you on them…the person that takes the time to understand you, your loves,and your nuances…who supports you unconditionally but isn’t afraid to tell you...

born again and struggling...

I haven't written in a long time. I haven't written in a long time, not for the lack of things to say, but simply because my mind has been so jumbled that the words that normally come across as crystal clear on the virtual page become a hodge podge of unclear thoughts and unshed emotion. To start with, being a re-saved Christian is harder than I imagined...but not for...

Baby Mama Drama: The Truth

I was chatting a few days ago with an acquaintance of mine who also is friends with the father of my eight year old. At the time, I didn’t realize that they knew each other.

I learned this from experience and...

Television Graveyard

It’s funny how random thoughts pop into my head sometimes. I know that I’ve mentioned reality TV’s supply and demand  on here a time or two before.

Not Many of Us Have Them...

I have a friend who’s mad at me that helped me anyway because I needed it. Those are the kinds of friends I have. Those are the kinds of friends everyone should have. I realize, though, that everyone doesn’t have those kinds of friends. And, like it or not, everyone needs friends. Everyone needs someone that they can talk to, bounce ideas off of, cry if they need to, laugh with, work out with, wake up in a jail cell together like “damn…they got us, son…” (not that I’ve ever done that…*looks away*), and so on and so forth. Sometimes your friends...
